Anyone else experiencing their worst QB performances ever?
My QB isn't very good, but his BEST performance out of three games this season is a 36.5 QBR.
I'm pretty sure I could do better than 36.5 launching footballs out of my ****.

The Shamrocks and Mules are both top 5 Defenses against the pass and the Snakes are 11th in pass yards and yards per attempt. Dublin and Moscow were also 1 and 2 on turnover margin (stats after GW2)

Rough start, but should ease up.

Good game Magpies, not as comfortable as the scoreline suggests. Hard to believe you're 0-3, I still think you'll be in the playoffs.

Its weird I just can't figure this team out, maybe I just need to stop tinkering. Wholesale changes in the coaching staff I think

Good game Beers / Shamrocks.

My QB badly wanted to give the game to you and he finally did. Good Luck until we meet again

He was already aomg the best Returners last year with a 34 avg and 2 returned for a TD. No clue what it is about him, or how he even ended up as my kick returner.

Btw. last year we had a 59 speed, 19 break tackle, 31 ball carrying TE as the player with the most return yards. 28 avg was not good, but even he got a TD and even returned Punts decently.

Returning is one of many things that are super bad in this version.
i am not having much fun right now in the beta tbh.

Just dropping in. This falls in line to what Seth has commented on before and I've paid it mind: slower return men needed to allow blocks to activate. Mmm, the creation here is quite interesting. I'll guess the player started off his journey as a SS (LBs have stinky avoid fumble) - got bulked up to LB and is steamrollin' on returns with the bulk and 'slowness' at what....85 speed? on an LB frame.

Kick Catching = 92, so yeah, converted DB.

Opponent caught 3 total injuries on the two TD returns; Giko got 1 himself. Hmm.....

Hey, if you find something that works, stay with it. I had to look him up after the 2nd one and was surprised with the ball carry ant break tackle, but he is fast. Always find a player that on paper shouldn’t be good at something, but turns out to be quite the opposite!
